SmartBug Media Earns “Best Company Culture” Award from Comparably

This Honor, the Seventh from Comparably in 2018, Demonstrates SmartBug’s Commitment to a Positive, Inspirational Workplace

NEWPORT BEACH, Calif., February 26, 2019—SmartBug Media—a leading intelligent inbound marketing agency that assists businesses in generating leads, increasing awareness, and building brand loyalty through inbound marketing, digital strategy, design, marketing automation, and PR—today announced that it has earned a Top 50 Best Company Culture award for Small/Mid-Size Businesses in the United States by Comparably.  

Founded in 2016, Comparably is a compensation, culture, and career-monitoring site that aims to increase workplace transparency. According to the company, Best Company Culture award winners were chosen based on anonymous employee feedback. Nominations were not required, nor were any participation fees.

Employees were asked more than 50 questions across several core culture categories, including compensation, leadership, professional development, work-life balance, and perks and benefits. Nearly 10 million ratings were given by employees from 50,000 companies across the United States over a year-long period (Nov. 26, 2017–Nov. 26, 2018).

Among similarly sized companies, SmartBug Media ranked in the top 5 percent for leadership and compensation. According to the results, SmartBug Media’s employees look forward to working with one another, believe the atmosphere at the company is positive, and are extremely optimistic about the company’s future.

“Again, we are thrilled to be recognized by Comparably for our company culture,“ said Ryan Malone, CEO and founder of SmartBug Media. “From day one, our culture has been based on the idea that employees should work with people whom they respect and admire both personally and professionally. This honor provides more evidence that our business model and work culture are paying off.”

This is the seventh Comparably award earned by SmartBug Media in 2018, having previously won Best CEOs for Women (Small/Mid-Size Companies), Best Managers (Small/Mid-Size Companies), Best Companies in Los Angeles, Best CEOs in Los Angeles, Happiest Employees (Small/Mid-Size Companies), and Best CEOs in the United States (Small/Mid-Size Companies).
